Bajos del Toro, in the Alajuela province, is a region that has captured my imagination.

The Jurassic jungle 🌴🦕
Bajos del Toro is a region of Costa Rica a short drive north from San Jose.
The area boasts Jurassic Park vibes, with deep, narrow canyons, plunging waterfalls, hanging valleys, dense rainforests, and wild jungles.
It’s a larger-than-life reflection of the locations depicted in the Jurassic Park movies. 🦖🎥🍿

There are over 6,000 species of reptiles in Costa Rica, but one you're almost sure to see when you visit is the Green Iguana, pictured here. 🦎 🐊 🐍
There is one other species of iguana, a bit less common, but still plentiful: the Spiny Tailed Iguana.
This Green Iguana crossed our path while leaving the beach near Uvita. We got a good look at him before he scurried off and climbed a tree.
Nose to tail, he was a little over 1 meter long. 🦎🌴🌿
Spotting wildlife is one of the joys of visiting Costa Rica 🌴🥭🌤️🌺🍃🇨🇷

Happy Thursday amigos!
If you haven’t heard of Manuel Antonio National Park, let this be your introduction. 🌴🌊
Located in the central Pacific zone of Costa Rica, It’s a relatively small national park, but it’s the most visited in the country.
And with good reason. 😍🌴
As you can see, it’s a lush, rainforest lined with pristine beaches. 🏝️
The park itself has guided tours and hiking trails that are easy to navigate and well groomed.
Wildlife thrives here, but we recommend a guided tour to see it. You will likely notice and see a lot more. 🐒 🦥 🦜🌴

One of things I love about Costa Rica is the changes in weather.
I love the sunshine ☀️
But I also love the cloudy mist and rain, as shown in this photo 🌫️☔️
I love that I can experience both in a single day ☀️⛅️⛈️
I love the diversity in microclimates throughout the country.
Hot & humid at the beach 🥵🏖️
Drive up into the hills just a few minutes and its cooler with a nice ocean breeze 🌴😌
Go into the highlands and the mountain country and it can get downright cold, especially at night 🥶
All this in a country barely the size of West Virginia!
So you prefer warm tropical weather or cooler, temperate climates with four seasons?

Summer vibes! 😎☀️🌴
Costa Rica’s busy season for tourism is in full swing! ✈️ 👣 🏖️
Known by ticos as “summer,” the dry season, or tourist season, runs from December to April, generally.
September and October can be quite rainy in most parts of the country, but April through August is an underrated time to book Costa Rica travel. 🎒🗺️ 🧭 🥾
During the early months of the rainy season, it rains more than during the tourist season. But not that much more, except in Guanacaste, which is a much more arid province in “summer.”
Benefits of rainy season travel include:
• Green, lush vegetation
• Lower prices
• Fewer crowds
• More active wildlife
• Better surfing and diving
• Waterfalls are more beautiful
• River rafting is better
If I had one suggestion or one travel hack to share, it would be this: Don’t completely write off the rainy season. 🌩️☔️
What’s your favorite benefit of off-season travel?

Have you tried glamping?
For those unaware, glamping is a form of camping, but with a more luxurious style.
It’s a bit more popular among women, but men who want to get away, but not “rough it” have taken to it as well.
In case you’re curious about the math: 😅
Glamor + camping = Glamping
Bitzu Dome in Bijagua, Alajuela offers a glamping experience in these cool dome structures with lots of nearby activities—hiking, river bathing, waterfalls, wildlife spotting, and various outdoor activities.
Glamping has been gaining popularity globally, and you’ll have some options in Costa Rica as well. 💄💅🏽🌴⛺️

Tamarindo is a beach town in the Guanacaste province and is a favorite among tourists for several reasons:
✈️ Proximity to an international airport (LIB in Liberia is 1.5 to 2 hours’ drive depending on route)
🏝️ Beautiful beaches
🌅 Spectacular sunsets
📷 Endless photo opportunities
🌋 Nearby National Parks (Tenorio Volcano & Rincón de la Vieja National Parks are both about a 3 hour drive)
🏨 Restaurant and lodging options are numerous and can fit any budget
🇺🇸 English is widely spoken
🏕️ Perfect base for day trips
The downsides are few but do exist:
• If you don’t like “touristy” places or crowds, avoid during the high season (Dec-Apr)
• A bit more expensive than smaller Tico towns or rural areas
• The beach is usually quite busy to downright crowded, depending on the season
If you can live with the downsides, Tamarindo is a fun town and an easy place for a tourist to visit, as the town caters to tourists.
